Thanks! I crawled under them, twisting me into the right position to
capure the pure sky as background without sun, or trees or roofs
projecting in.

Naturally. I've done that and found I was lying in an ants' nest;
until then I believed the little black garden ants couldn't bite.

You did a great job twisting. Thanks for the effort.

I hope this did not happen when you photographed the stinging nettles.
Haha. Great shots btw. I had always some opium poppies too. I can
remember that I still had a few last year, but seemingly without
producing seeds for this year. I liked the doubled ones (as in your
pic), but they were quite rare (1 every other year or less).

They produce a lot of seeds and if you let them get into your compost
you get 100% germination in pots where you don't want them. But if the
seeds fall in flower beds you only get a few plants, so I suppose most
of them are eaten by birds or some other creature.
